I actually did it this year for a friend of mine. She had a breeding to a nice stud and we thought she would cross on that particular stallion awesome so I agreed to lease her for the year etc. since she is a friend I did it for free with the understanding that she insure me as the beneficiary for mortality for a agreed up on price and that she pays for all expenses while mare is I'm her care etc. I am not sure if I would do this for a complete stranger but it is working for us. I also priced her for sale if she decided to purchase her aster she foals etc.

Yes, it is something that can go south in a hurry. OR it can workout just fine. There are many different ways it can be done. I have only done free leases. Where the lessee pays for EVERYTHING. But no money changes hands between the mare owner and lessee. Some mare owners charge a fee. Personally, I wouldn't do a lease like that. If I'm going to pay a "fee", I may as well buy a mare! The main thing you need is a solid contract. AND a lease they the AQHA. As if there is a lease filed with the AQHA the mare owner can't sell the mare. (A transfer on a leased horse will only be processed if it if being transferred to the lessee.)

AQHA has a lease form that is a lot like a transfer. It is not a contract though. Just a form so the correct person gets listed as the breeder on the foal.

I leased my mare out for a care lease and in return I got a breeding to her stallion. In the event of mortality I got the breeding and my choice of either a weanling or yearling by the stallion. Had a very good contract crafted by a lawyer and also filled out the lease form from AQHA. Would I do it again? Maybe - depending on the person.

Glad you started this post as I've been tossing around the idea of doing this with my mare next year. I'd like to breed her myself, but it may be more cost efficient at this time to lease her to someone else to breed her while I save money in the mean time. Alot to consider, and chances taken, good to know about the AQHA Lease form as well!

I leased a mare from BB Magic Gunsmoke. I had a great experience - I ended up buying her! I did complete the AQHA Lease form. I think you just have to be really picky who they go to.
